Chapter 172: Chapter 129: Jackal Invasion

Southwest of the Vine Tribe, within a section of the Primitive Forest, Shi Qiu was leading Hunting Team Two to capture buffalo calves.

The chief said that the buffalo calves are very important to the tribe. If they can be captured and tamed, the tribe will be able to cultivate more land and obtain more food in the future.

No one dared to be careless when it came to the issue of food, so Shi Qiu was determined to capture the buffalo calves.

They targeted a herd of buffalo, about twenty in number, with five being calves.

After the spring sacrifice, Hunting Team Two now had fifty warriors, hunting twenty buffalo was clearly beyond their capabilities.

However, there was still a way.

If they could find a way to scare the herd into running, the slower-running buffalo calves would have a chance to be captured.

This was a common tactic used by many predators.

Shi Qiu gathered everyone together.

"Later, first set up traps and trip wires on the path the buffalo herd will advance, then send ten people around to scare the buffalo."

"Once the herd starts running, they will definitely get entangled in the traps and trip wires. At that time, we’ll use the vine nets to seize the opportunity to capture those calves!"

"Does everyone understand?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Good, let’s start setting up the traps and trip wires."

At Shi Qiu’s command, everyone immediately went around to the front of the buffalo herd and began setting up numerous trip wires and traps.

Although the trip wires and traps could not stop these buffalo, nor was it easy to cause them any harm, they could slow down some of the buffalo, causing them to fall behind the herd.

After the traps and trip wires were set, ten warriors from Hunting Team Two quietly ran to the left and right sides of the buffalo herd, as well as behind it, climbing into the dense trees.

Soon after, three of the warriors took out hollowed beast horns with cut ends and blew into them fiercely.

"Woo woo..."

The sound of the beast horns was very loud, sounding like the roar of a giant beast, extremely terrifying.

The other warriors made the customary hunting calls, making it sound as if there were many people.

"Moo..."

Hearing these sounds, the buffalo herd, thinking a group of predators was attacking, was immediately frightened and started running forward frantically.

"Quick, quick, quick, get ready to capture the calves."

Shi Qiu shouted loudly and then climbed a tree with a good view, nocking an arrow and aiming at the trap area.

"Whoosh!"

A buffalo triggered a trap, and a large log hanging in the air immediately swung towards it.

"Thud!"

The log struck the buffalo’s head, dazing it, and after running a few more steps, its pace became staggered.

"Whiz!"

At this moment, a sharp arrow flew swiftly and pierced the hip of the large buffalo.

"Moo!"

The large buffalo let out a miserable cry, then charged forward madly, only to be tripped by the trip wire.

Other buffalo also triggered many traps and trip wires, panicking the entire herd and making them run faster.

Under normal circumstances, the herd would protect the calves in the middle to avoid predator attacks.

But in times like this, all the adult buffalo only cared about escaping for their lives, neglecting the calves.

The calves couldn’t run as fast as the adult buffalo, making them more likely to be caught by the traps in the trap area.

"Whoosh!"

A calf stepped into a snare trap, with one hoof getting tangled and pulling it towards a tree.

"Quick, quick, quick, catch it."

The nearby warriors were excited, nimbly jumping forward through the trees and landing next to the buffalo, immediately netting it with a vine net.

"Mmmooo..."

The buffalo calf struggled frantically in the vine net, but it was no use; it couldn’t escape at all.

Two warriors pressed the buffalo calf onto the ground, tied its four hooves, and with the restraint of the vine net, it was utterly unable to escape.

Besides this buffalo calf, two other buffalo calves were also tackled and captured by the Hunting Team’s prepared warriors.

Out of five buffalo calves, three were caught, and two escaped. This was considered quite a successful hunt.

In addition to the calves, the large buffalo wounded by Shi Qiu’s arrow was also captured; it was a cow.

After the capture operation ended, Shi Qiu came down from the tree and joined the warriors of Hunting Team Two.

He first inspected the large adult buffalo and then the three calves, nodding with satisfaction, saying, "Let’s carry these four buffalo back to the tribe."

This capture went unexpectedly smoothly, putting Shi Qiu in a good mood.

The warriors of Hunting Team Two were also very happy because they had heard that these buffalo calves, once brought back to the tribe, could be very useful.

According to the chief, these buffalo calves could be used for plowing fields.

Although they did not understand what plowing fields meant, they knew it would benefit the tribe.

The warriors constructed four racks, placed the buffalo tied with vine nets on them, and carried them back.

Due to their large numbers, most regular predatory beasts in the forest would avoid them and not attack.

However, while general predators abstained, it didn’t mean members of other tribes would.

The Jackal Tribe, which had recently migrated to this area, was aggressively expanding, incorporating many forests into their hunting grounds.

The forest where Shi Qiu and his group captured the buffalo was also within the Jackal Tribe’s activity range.

A hunting team of over two hundred warriors from the Jackal Tribe happened to be in the nearby forest.
